Charlie should sell these...

[ClayW]

I think these look awesome. How much would you pay for one of these FUNCTIONAL hoods?

[kissov356]

What is their function? Something BMW overlooked in the design of the 2002?

[esty]

woulda been a lot less work to have drilled a bunch of holes in the hood

very nice work...i do like it...but the nose pins have to go

[kissov356]

Wow, the thing is removable too, maybe he could build a rack to put it on the roof when its not a "hood", could be a wing like a sprint car.

[BLUNT]

i bet people freak when they see that thing coming up from behind.

i like it. its different and serious enough to pull it off

[gone002]

sheeet ....you should see it pull away!!!!!!!

deeeeznam!!!!!

thx! i could make a mold if there's interest i guess but like the wildabeast said, its less work to just hole-saw the thing. J/P! hehehe im debating the nose pins, and wanna go more along with what Pedro did to his hood. this thing flaps around like a fish >70mph but the vents should get rid of that. cant test it out till tommorow.

BLUNT.. my car is getting too rat-roddy.. i'd be more scared to see your M2 in my mirror! a friend asked y i didnt just go buy an old camaro. it sounds the same, gets the same mpg, and looks like i got it from pick-a-part. hahahaa

[Supergeek]

Damn, Charlie. That looks badass. I'd buy one!

maybe a mold of just the scoops, in that cheap, floppy plastic that can be glued onto the hood......over the holes you have to drill of course.....

j/k mister...i know it was a lotta work and love involved and i think it looks very appropriate for the o2

hahaha doing it myself was actually retaliation after seeing this:

..and saying F-that! and fiberglass ones weren't cheaper.

You guys are harsh! If he likes it, F@#!K it! You should see my '69 with no trim, mirrors, shaved door handles and the gas cap in the trunk. Not a damn functional reason for any of it, just too cheap to replace chrome when paint and body work was done. Personally, I don't like it but I'm not going to rip the guy for being creative as long as he likes it.

Function? Those vents will cure almost ANY underhood heat problem. You could run a turbocharged M20 with no problem!

I'm curious how a hood with those vents would look on a car with suspension mods and no other exterior changes......

another option to hood pins are these type of pins / holders...

i've seen them color-match painted on some cars and they blend into the hood really nicely... can't even tell that they're there until you're within five feet...

Give me an image and i'll see what I can do in Photoshop...

[jlandreth]

I like it a lot!
